In a practical translation of the accelerating steps toward Gulf defense integration in the face of regional challenges, the defense ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states approved the establishment of an advanced command for the Unified Military Command in Kuwait, with the allocation of appropriate forces. The decision came during the 23rd session of the Joint Defense Council meeting, held in Bahrain with the participation of Kuwait’s Minister of Defense, Sheikh Abdullah Ali Al-Salim Al-Sabah. The ministers discussed the development of the joint Gulf military operational system and adopted recommendations to support integration among the armed forces, enhance their readiness, and strengthen their defensive capabilities. They reaffirmed the GCC states’ unity in standing shoulder to shoulder with Saudi Arabia, offering full support for all measures it takes to protect its security, stability, territorial integrity, and sacred sites, based on the shared Gulf destiny and the firm stance that the security of Saudi Arabia is an inseparable part of the security of all GCC states.
